Everyone reading this knows very well that if one person were to point you out as someone who robbed a bank, people may not believe it right away. But if a CROWD of people point you out as the culprit, your goose is cooked, plain and simple. The more testimonials, the heavier the weight of those testimonials. Let's not play dumb people!
But if there was no evidence for a bank being robbed the testimonials would be worthless. Just because lots of people think something does not make it true.
There are for example a lot of people who believe in a magical person coming back after a long time and solving all their problems, a being who left and said they'd be back many years ago.
I am of course alluding to John Frum the deity on the island of Tanna.
